Not sure I agree with that. Good sax players can generally play faster than guitar players at an equivalent level and often play patterns that are awkward to finger on guitar. I'm not saying don't transcribe sax parts but most of us will have to stick to stuff that's not too technical.
If you know even a handful of chords and can keep time then get yourself along to a local jam night and join in. Nerve racking first time you do it but, honestly, it’s worth giving it a go.
Solo'ing wise I've become more interested in listening to singers and how much time you can spend technically in no mans land, between proper note pitches before resolving things to pitch on a phrase. A lot of the guitar greats do this as well. If you listen carefully to Van Halen (on the slower phrases) you can hear this. It's something I had considered much until recently.

By god it's instructive.
I'm aware of the pitfalls of using too much gain - but you get to see and hear what voicings cut through, EQ, how others approach the same songs I play, gear used, how it performs etc.etc... I'm completely shameless as well - if I see someone doing something that catches my ear - I won't hesitate to try / use it myself !
